Aug 25, 2013 Announcement

Please join us for worship on Sunday, August 25th, at 10:30 a.m. and for coffee and fellowship after the service. Our texts will be Jeremiah 31:13 and Luke 13:10-17. John Adams will play a sermon in music entitled “Songs of Sadness and Dances of Joy.”  The music is from Federico Mompou’s Songs and Dances, numbers 5, 6, 7, and 8.  Mompou composed these pieces over a forty-year period ending in 1972.  Drawing upon melodies from his Catalan youth, he shaped the Songs into predominantly lyrical expressions of sadness, reverence, and quiet joy, while lightening the mood in the Dances with joyous statements of rhythmic vitality.

There will be a prayer meeting after coffee hour this Sunday, August 25th in the Green Room. Jesus said, ‘When two or three are gathered in my name, I am there.” Bring your prayers about whatever joys or concerns you may have on your mind and in your heart. All are welcome.

Save the date!  Tuesday, August 27th 5-11pm at Flatbread Pizza in Davis Square to support CHPC and the Boston Food Justice Young Adult Volunteer program – Pizza, bowling, friends and a good cause… what could be a better way to wrap up the summer?!  Every month the Flatbread Company (45 Day St, Somerville, MA 02144) shares their proceeds with local charities and August is for CHPC!  We will designate funds to support the Boston Food Justice Young Adult Volunteers program, starting in the Boston Presbytery this fall and bringing churches and organizations together to fight hunger, poverty, and structural injustice in the local food system.  It’s also a great way for CHPC to be visible in the community, so spread the word and bring your friends to Flatbread on August 27th!  Any questions, please contact Ruth (617-571-3621 ruth.rhoads.allen@gmail.com) or Val (Mabel312@aol.com).

We are pleased to announce that both the congregation of Clarendon Hill Church and the Presbytery of Boston approved our candidate, Rev. Allen Fairfax,  to be the new designated pastor!  Rev. Fairfax will begin his ministry atClarendon Hill on Sunday, September 1st.

Rides wanted!  Drivers needed!    We’re looking for people with cars to help other members of the congregation get to and from church and church events.  And if you would like a ride – every week or just for one event – we’re happy to help!  Please call or email Ruth to get on the schedule 617-571-3621 ruth.rhoads.allen@gmail.com
